Oriental Garden Lizard
Prinsip spesies: Signal Shift
Hide when hiding works. Signal when signalling wins.
Sometimes being noticed is the strategy.
Oriental Garden Lizards ordinarily use relatively subdued coloration among vegetation, while breeding males can become dramatically more conspicuous around the head and throat and combine that colour with territorial visual displays. The same animal shifts from blending into its surroundings to deliberately broadcasting itself when social competition makes recognition valuable.
